Convert yards to pounds
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

:? How many pounds of topsoil are in 5 yards. I don't know what a yard is either, but that is how it is delivered in a dump truck.

Typically fill dirt and topsoil are sold by the ton and weigh about 1.25 tons per yard. Five yards would be about 6.25 tons, or 12,500 pounds.
A yard, FYI, is actually a cubic yard, or a cube that is one yard by one yard by one yard. One cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. (Three feet per yard, so 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft = 3 x 3 x 3 ft x ft x ft = 27 ft³.)

So lets say i have 1434 lbs/yd3 of aggregate. How many lbs is that?
